Cui Wenxiu set out for Kerman from Polis, the capital of Rosette Province, after receiving a request for talks from the Hansen Alliance messenger. At the same time as he received the news from the Hansen Alliance messenger, the Imperial Intelligence Agency stationed in Hansen The alliance branch also received news that the senior leaders of the Hansen Alliance had different views on getting involved in a larger war in the West Indian region. However, they were unable to learn about the other party's subsequent opinions. However, they learned from Hansen Alliance messengers. Judging from the attitude of demanding talks combined with the intelligence available to them, the top leaders of the Hansen Alliance seem to be more inclined to use peace talks to end the war, which is exactly what Cui Wenxiu wants.
intention of.
Cui Wenxiu did not expect that the war would reach this level. Both the Jerok Army and the Tenth Army suffered considerable losses. Although this cruel war was a training for both armies from all angles, this However, it has really weakened its ability to control the central continent. There is obviously a gap between the Seventh Army and the Indian Army in this regard. The war in Huluo Province is progressing slowly, which makes Cui Wenxiu very dissatisfied. Hu Yanhong, the commander of the Seventh Army Corps, also felt ashamed, and Ying Jianming, the commander of the Indian Army Corps, also wrote repeatedly asking for punishment. Fortunately, the war situation finally did not get out of control.
However, the Hansen Alliance has also won a situation that is quite favorable to them. At least in the peace talks, the weight they can ask for is much heavier.
At this time, Cui Wenxiu was already considering how to choose in this negotiation. The map of De'an in Western India was placed in front of Cui Wenxiu like a huge cake, waiting for him to make the move, but before he made the move, he couldn't. Without asking for the opinion of the other knife wielder, the real owner of the cake seems to have been forgotten by the two powerful men.
Entering the city, Cui Wen Xiucaiwei was struck by the quaint charm of the holy city that was different from other cities. The streets and alleys seemed to be paved with uniform white stone slabs. Although the sizes were different, the texture was the same. There are one or two chanting sounds, but if you listen carefully it seems to be missing again. Most of the pedestrians coming and going are in a hurry. Black and white robes are the most common, covering the body tightly, and the head is wrapped with a scarf of the same color, which is a bit more solemn. On the contrary, women's clothing is a bit more delicate, mostly covering the forearms, and tube skirts with complicated patterns are The most common attire of Yakuan women.
Niye temples, large and small, fill the entire city, perhaps with new owners. Niyeism temples have also gained a lot of popularity, but the newly built Holy Spirit Churches stand tall, with pointed tower tops, majestic bell towers, and mosaic enamels, which seem to indicate to the world that this place is not just Niyeism.
The holy city of the Ye Sect is also the pioneer of the Holy Spirit Sect in the East. Two different styles of religious buildings merge and collide here, sparking countless sparks, and the rest seems to be how to get along.
When walking in the streets, Cui Wenxiu felt a little majestic. From here you can already feel the cool sea breeze from the Baltic Sea. However, the originally moist sea breeze has become much drier after passing through the Kerman Desert, but it still brings a spring rain to Kerman City. The drizzle made the entire ancient city of Kerman immersed in rain and fog, adding a bit of freshness.
"Pauling, are you interested in joining politics?" Cui Wenxiu suddenly asked the man who had been following him behind him.
"Why did the commander say this?" Pauling raised his head and asked.
"Well, the final constitution of this Indian land is to be brought under the jurisdiction of the empire. At present, the three tribes of Panza, Solian, and Mish have made clear their requests to become the direct administrative regions of the empire. Withdraw provinces, build counties, and other things like Provinces such as Rossay, Kunduz, and Lahore may be considered in the next step. Military control is not a permanent place. The army is used to fight. It is not a management department, but this Indian region is important to the empire. They are still a little unfamiliar. Most of the important officials in the DPRK lack understanding of this land. They only know that it can provide them with massive amounts of gold and sufficient human resources. What about other things? Here are the customs, topography, religions and ethnic groups. What can they have? How many people know about it?" Cui Wenxiu sighed softly. "I'm afraid that only Rao and you in the empire have some understanding of the Indian region. Nuo is a large territory, and I don't know what to do with it next. There are a few people who are familiar with the situation to serve as the frontier officials. It’s much better to be afraid.”
Bao Lin was also thinking about the meaning of Cui Wenxiu's words. The other party was his old boss, so naturally he would not treat him badly. However, the competition in the empire was fierce now. If he wanted the position of division commander or even deputy commander, he would not be able to treat him badly. With his own talents and Cui Wenxiu's evidence, I'm afraid it's not difficult, but it's a bit difficult to get to the next level. I haven't seen brave generals like Sang Sheng and Jin Zecheng condescend to the division. In terms of the position of commander, veteran generals such as Shanzhu and Wen Na who have great reputations in battle have also stalled in the position of deputy commander. Many times, to reach this level requires not only military merit and ability, but also certain standards. Opportunities and luck, otherwise I may not be able to achieve it with my whole life's efforts. But now it is much easier in the local area. With the continuous expansion of the empire's territory, it is expected that Cui Wenxiu will recommend and find a governor of a county. It is not impossible to return to the capital and join the court if there is some luck.
"The commander-in-chief is right. Now the conditions are ripe for the Solian and Pangzha tribes to change their prefectures. The Solian people are among the Indian ethnic groups that have the most contacts with the Tang Dynasty. They have close relations with the Tang people. It is also closely connected with the empire. Businessmen from the northwest and the western regions have invested heavily in this area. The cotton textile industry in this area has been monopolized by them, forming a huge production area with the western regions and the northwest. Cotton fabrics are exported to the central continent and the western region of the empire. , the economy is increasingly integrated with the empire, so there should be no problem in changing the county, and there should be no problem in the Panzhe tribe.
The upper class has accepted the fact of imperial control and is gradually becoming Tang-oriented. The relationship between Northern Luzon and this region is also becoming increasingly integrated. I also think it is the right time for these two regions to be transformed into counties and directly under the central government of the empire, otherwise it would be unfair. Not being a mother is not conducive to imperial rule, but also makes it difficult for our military to coordinate with local governments. After a pause, Pauling thought about his words and then said: "Could it be that the commander-in-chief wants Pauling to enter politics and develop in this Indian region?" "
"What? Are you interested? The three regions of Panchabu and Lahore can be combined to form a county. The three regions of Solian and Boluo Province can be combined to form a county first. With the local government under its jurisdiction, I can rest assured. To deal with the Hansen League and the Luzon people, it is better to leave local affairs to the local government. This is my idea. I have already reported it to the empire, and I guess there will be a response soon. If you are interested, I I suggest that you make some preparations and hire some capable people first, so as not to be in a hurry when the time comes to get approval." Although he was ostensibly seeking Pauling's opinion, Cui Wenxiu's words seemed to have already confirmed Pauling's identity.
"The commander-in-chief said this, does Pauling still have room to refuse?" Pauling asked with a wry smile.
"Hehehe, of course, I will never force anyone, but you also know the current situation in the military. You don't have to be in the army to realize your dream. Besides, I think your current situation is more suitable for local development. Especially this Indian land should be the stage for you to show off your talents. Look at Lu Man, he is now the governor of the East China Sea and a very popular figure in the empire. Cui Wenxiu's attitude is gentle, but his tone is very sure.
"Let me think about it again." Pauling shook his head. In fact, Pauling had already considered this issue. When he served as the chief representative of Western Xinjiang in India, he had actually gradually transformed from a pure soldier to a politician. , but at that time, the existence of Xijiang in the Indian region still had a strong military overtones. However, as the empire's influence on this land increased day by day, the military overtones faded while the political and economic influence continued to expand. This This also requires him to constantly adjust his identity and role. At this time, he has gradually changed psychologically from a soldier to a comprehensive person.
sexual role. But for Pauling to suddenly give up his status as a soldier and become a local magistrate, this was emotionally unacceptable to Pauling, who had always been based on the military, so he needed an adaptation process.
"Forget it, you should give it some thought. The negotiators from the Hansen Alliance are probably arriving soon. What do you think of this negotiation?" Cui Wenxiu did not force the other party and changed the topic.
"It also depends on the commander-in-chief. The two provinces of Kerman and Huro are already in our hands. I guess the Hansen Alliance will not be arrogant enough to ask us to withdraw from these two places. The remaining ones are Maina and Farhan. There are four provinces: Destin, Destin and Destin. The Destin province is the southeastern barrier of the Principality of Hanover. Now we can and do not have the ability to control it. We can ignore it for the time being. In fact, there are only three provinces’ status issues. Maina The province is the core of the Western Indian region, and Blue Castle is the central city of the Western Indian region. Whoever controls this place will take the initiative. There will probably be a lot of controversy in this place. We and the Hansen Alliance seem to have both It is unlikely to give up this place. The provinces of Dexin and Destin are connected as one, and geographically it does not seem suitable for division, so I estimate that the Hansen League will also strive for it. On the contrary, the Farhan Province is close to the Hansen League. , but there aren’t many valuable ones in this area
If we fight for something worth it, the Hansen Alliance may make concessions. "Pauling was well prepared for this issue, and his analysis was quite in-depth.
